I remember a few months back whitehakx made a guide for porting vibrant (or was it i9000?) roms to our device. I believe it's somewhere on these forums.
My question is, is it possible? If so, I might venture into the developing world. There are a couple of nice looking roms available for those phones that would make and excellent addition to ours.. I just need someone to tell me it's possible and I'll probably start developing. I have plenty of free time since I finished my software engineering studies but have no jobs yet.

Is it me or does that seem like some really short directions for such a complicated procedure?
Indeed! And you notice there aren't any Vibrant ROM's ported either.
At the last few posts someone does try to do it but is stuck on a step anyway one of us can help him?

I am a new android user. I am learning little by little about this phone. Does anyone know how to install custom rom on infuse? I got my phone rooted already.
Thanks in advance.
Ok. First of all you have to be rooted. PM me if you need help with that. Which ROM do you want to flash? There are two that are working well, Infused and refuse. Refuse needs to use odin though, and infused usually doesnt. Just hit me up and I'll send you detailed instructions via PM. We dont need more clutter in these boards.

since the this thread is already started i do have a few noob questions if someone is willing to answer
you should ask.
Look at the thread that I made in the dev section and post questions there. They will be answered
Sent from my 4.5' Infuse 4g: Currently running Infused v1.3.1 w/ voodoo lagfix. Thank you gtg465x!
k will look there first and guess go from there. I have been hesitant to ask cuz always afraid they have been asked or wrong place to ask. Ive looked thru so many pages that i probably saw the answers to some of my questions but read them as a blur. I come from an iphone and with so many android phones seems so confusing at times.

Who else wants to see a separate forum for completely stock (maybe also deodexed) roms and leaks, separate from all the custom roms? It might help out newer users who haven't noticed the naming schemes for leaks etc. It could also have a stickied thread guiding them to what's the latest available leak. The dev section is pretty cluttered :/
That definitely sounds like a great idea. Then again, there could also be a compiled list of leaks and deodexed ROMs, just like what Whitehawkx did.
Maybe I'll start working on that this weekend if people actually want it.

I'll let this poll run for another day then I'll contact a mod to see if they can do anything.
That's a good plan and will help all new comers to this forum.
I like it to - maybe if so - have the devs post if the rom is for Froyo or GB ?? Im a noob myself and I understand most - but still trying to figure out all the kernels and differences between KI3 or KG4... and what not.
Ditto.. Would definately help newcomers. It only took me a couple hours to figure things out but I'm sure it would help total noobs....

I've contacted the mods, just waiting on their reply now.
Sorry that I haven't been around, but I'll try to get on making that thread this weekend (if nobody else finished it by then).
Hey guys, as the title states, is there anyone working on root method for the latest OTA (9/4/12)? I foolishly updated, as always hoping they'd fix the reloading issue, and now I'm stuck on it because I can't seem to find a working root method for this update. If anyone needs a test phone, then I'm up for it, I gotta get this thing working properly already!!
Thanks,
John

I know what you mean, I've also gone through a bunch of different websites, and nothing there, perhaps another phone with a similar OS has a solution that could be worked off of. Heck, I've fiddled around with a few different methods, but the primary issue is not being rooted. I managed to get a part of the clockwork recovery, but even though I had a ROM in the sdcard root, my phone just rebooted, and no change was made, may try a different ROM for the heck of it.
Takes time if it's going to happen. He's a fairly busy person .

He doesn't ignore the " newbs " . Remember we are all newbs at some point or another. He just has a busy schedule. Plus keep in mind he does not own a Shift.

I think I will, even though I just used an external application to do the reboots for me, where tacroot couldn't get the permissions.
It came as a surprise, as most of the stuff I tried failed me.
Hmm maybe this will inspire future devs to just mix and match rooting methods to get root
Nice job even thinking of combining those though

OK good luck. You could just read a bit, since I have spent hours making a guide or two, many others such as Ronnie and redpoint have spent hours putting guides and grouping all the info here and Devs have spent countless hours creating roms and discovering root methods. You can take some time to read the information and attempt to understand. If something is unclear or you don't quite understand then you can ask questions and I'm sure many people will be glad to help!

it's not that no one here is willing to help you out, you just need to know what you're doing before you do anything because of the huge risks you take in the unlocking process. if you're not willing to put in the time to read about everything before you ask questions and ask for hand-holding, then you should reconsider unlocking.
Here's some material to start with
Sticky #3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2232141 (pay attention to rule 1)
Sticky #4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1754018
The unlocking thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283760 - read this 5 times over before you actually do anything. and follow each instruction VERY carefully.
Once you're done unlocking: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2286587
Lastly, people are here to help each other, not babysit you through unlocking. If you ask nicely, someone may decide to help you through it. We've all put in hours into reading and researching and searching for answers. Work like this on a phone requires a base level of knowledge so you should strive to learn enough so that you're able to do what you need to in order to unlock your phone. Also, a post like this belongs in the Q&A subforum.
Good luck!

I told him to do so, so he could go to completely another forum (not XDA) and ask this noob question there, where nobody knows him.
Now you get it?
It would be very funny experience for him to find out what other people on other frums know about SGS4 or phone flashing at all.
I would probably get people telling me off and not wanting to teach me... Happens a lot on these forums, luckily the constant S4 questions have kind of died down here and people like myst tend to point them in the right direction instead of just making a fuss about it.
Why not just report it and move on?
Anyhow, congrats on new device, go forth & make it great like you did for sgs4g..
